Hello I have a Bust Half Dollar received 1830th The rand scripture is not as it should be. If the ffter before, or is this something special? How do you assess the value of this coin? Pay it to send it to NGC? Thank you very much http://www.numismatikforum.de/download/file.php?id=116744 http://www.numismatikforum.de/download/file.php?id=116745&mode=view http://www.numismatikforum.de/download/file.php?id=116746
It is a common error, since the edge was inscribed by hand using Castaing machine. When the machine is operated properly, one side of the coin gets "FIFTY CENTS OR" and the other "HALF A DOLLAR" On your coin the OR overlaps HALF a bit.
Maybe. Is the pic of the reverse of the same coin? The 5 in 50C. looks different from all the other 1830 coins I can find. The upper part of the 5 should be short and straight, but in your pic it is long and curved. It looks more like this (the year before): http://www.eyeappealingcoins.com/1829-7-50c-capped-bust-half-dollar-pcgs-ogh-o-101-au55.html There are hundreds of varieties in this series. It may be very rare, or it may be not genuine..I cannot tell from the pics.
I found your variety: "O-106" http://maibockaddict.com/1830-o-106-r2-capped-bust-half-dollar.shtml They are not extremely rare, you can see prices on ebay if you search for: 1830 "O-106"
